Gazo

Gazo is a one-stop shop for summer treats and bubble tea. 

This popular Montreal transplant tries to cover all the hottest dessert trends. Not only does it offer boba, it also serves up liquid nitrogen ice cream and Japanese souffle pancakes, too.

The Gazo Teas—which are fruit smoothies served with vanilla ice cream at the bottom—come in four flavours.

gazo torontoThe signature Taro Babo ($5.99) is my favourite. It's made with fresh dairy, and unlike other taro-flavoured bubble teas, isn't painfully sweet and doesn't have an artificial violet colour. 

Instead, the cup is lined with a real taro and purple yam mixture, giving it more of a reddish colour. It comes with Oreo bits and mini sago pearls.

An Ice Boba Tea with vanilla ice cream ($6.49) has a sort of caramelized flavour.

The souffle pancakes($10.99) are great, and as jiggly and fluffy as you'd want them. I'd probably recommend the Gazo Souffle, which comes with vanilla sauce on top.

The salty, cheesy sauce doesn't bring out the potential of the sweet pancakes beneath, which would taste better with a sweet sauce.

There's also tiramisu or a creme brulee version; I'd try those instead.
